We're really looking for him to use it to commute to work (over 60 miles each way) and are hoping that this will save us some money. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.....
Ever think of buying a 190D-?? I had one last year and if you are looking for mileage this is the car for you. Mine was a non-turbo 5 speed std. tranny and on a few occassions it hit close to 40 mpg on thhe thruway. Around town I got 30-34 mpg(almost as good as my VW-TDI-around town) The only problem was the quality-definitely not up to par with pre 87 240 and 300 MBs.
